I used these inexpensive Perko oarlocks on my 18' skin-on-frame dory designed by Dave Gentry. Yesterday, one of the oarlocks snapped off just below the collar while we were miles up (thankfully) a local river. We had a long, slow trip home rowing with one oar and paddling with the other. I'll keep the surviving lock for a spare. Today I built a sturdy set of Phil Bolger oarlocks to replace these cheap ones.

Bought these cheap Perko oarlocks for my drift boat. One snapped in two while on a lake. If I had been on a Montana river, I would have been in trouble.

Purchased a set of oars for my father and got these as well. Both were a big hit. He is hard to buy for and I think he really liked them. Way better than the socks and ties. Shipped and received very quickly

Perfect and good quality. Needed for new Grumman aluminum row boat (straight 1/2" oarlocks don't fit)

Bought these along with Caviness metal oars to replace rotted wooden oars on my duckboat. Just the thing for ease of use and back-up for my 3-hp outboard.

Very functional set of round oarlocks,very good quality made in USA, big enough even for my odd sized homemade oars. Some slight oxidation after only a few uses, not rust but a small amount of whitish waxy type of oxidation. Just asthetic but if you want really shiny oarlocks spend the extra bucks and go stainless.

the oar locks work grear!!
